It's normal to be concerned. But as you know, complication rates are very low with this surgery. How did your pre-op diet go?

The 14 days went pretty well, I had times in the day that I would just cry. I was on 3 shakes a day and sf Jello and pudding. But I am a hot meal person so the broth was a good thing to have. I did have trouble with retaining Fluid. But all is good. Can't believe it is in the morning. I have so many butterflies in my stomach right now. So anxious!!

Thanks for all the kind words. And I will try to get on here as soon as I can. Have to be at the hospital for 5 am. Surprising I am calming down some. Ready to get it over with and start to heal.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
